Dear reader or follower of the blog. We don't have all the postal adresses to send cards to so hereby we post the funeral card. Feel invited and free to join us, wether some time this week at our house or on saturday at the funeral service. Our credo is "anything goes, nothing should" you're welcome.
On behalf of my family and Frank's closest friends,
Esther
Lieve Esther en familie
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat een verdriet dat jullie Frank ineens zijn kwijtgeraakt. Wij hebben mooie herinneringen aan hem met ons bezoek in Nijmegen over Herculaneum.
Wat wist hij veel. Zo´n aardige en bijzondere man! We wensen jullie allemaal heel veel sterkte en liefs van ons allemaal
Martha en Paul, Stan en Mas
Our Airborne Brotherhood has lost a close friend. Our Reunions in Arnhem and Nijmegen will never be the same without him.

Thank you Air Despatchers for honouring Frank:

It's been great that a delegation of Air Despatchers came over from London. The ceremony wouldn't have been complete without you.
Drink a white port wine, or an Auchentosan single malt whisky, to remember Frank. Cheers!
And then it was silent... Any idea when the speeches and perhaps photos will be posted here?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm still struggling with the idea that I will never again hear his "HA DIE ZAAG!!" shouted through the phone, or his "I'm REALLY going to make you green with envy when I tell you you about my new books!". Removing him from my email address list and mobile phone made me very sad. (But I added Esther ;-)).
Damn damn damn. Or as General Pickett said in the film Gettysburg, "Damnation!"
De Zaag
And I just realised that tomorrow it will be two weeks since he left us, and my dad passed away more than a month ago...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhere does the time go, may I ask, and can I have some back please?
Walter, feeling very sad.
